ScribeAmerica acquires Essia Health

ScribeAmerica, a scribe training and management company, acquired Woodland Hills, Calif.-based Essia Health. The deal, ScribeAmerica’s third acquisition of 2015, brings an additional 50 locations to its portfolio of more than 1,100 sites nationwide.

Founded in 2011, Essia Health provides scribe management services as well as expertise in a range of electronic medical record (EMR) platforms and technologies.

“The acquisition of Essia Health allows us to expand our reach on the west coast and other key regions,” said ScribeAmerica’s founder and CEO Dr. Michael Murphy. “Not only are we adding more than 50 new scribe programs to our portfolio, we are strengthening our expertise through the knowledgeable team members we are gaining, allowing us to continue to build on services to meet the ever changing needs of the healthcare professional.”

ScribeAmerica earlier this year acquired Southern California-based Medical Scribe Systems and Virginia-based eScribe. The firm also introduced new services including a care coordination module and real-time point of service coding platform, LiveCode.
